Fall colors: Nature's holiday cheer

Nature provides us with some holiday cheer in the form of fall colors. Every year I admire the lovely colors the leaves turn into. They are in shades of greens, reds, yellows, browns and violets...are there any colors left, I sometimes wonder? So I decided to post some of the foliage photographs I had taken in the recent past to add a dash of colour to my blog.

            


            

When I stop to look at the leaves I am reminded of the following lines from Frost's poem:
"The woods are lovely dark and deep
And I have promises to keep
And miles to go before I sleep"

Plenty of smiles
Some time for yourself

Simple thoughts that could make all the difference to my day.
